==Marriage==<br />
When Ajit Singh, Maharaja of Marwar was moved from Subedari (governorship) of [[Gujarat Subah]] to [[Thatta Subah]], he refused and returned to Marwar and captured Ajmer. Husain Ali Khan, one of the [[Sayyid brothers]] was sent against him but the emperor [[Farrukhsiyar]], who was in a power struggle against them and who were trying to control him, secretly encouraged Ajit Singh to resist the imperial troops and if he won he would be rewarded. Ajit Singh withdrew against Hussain Ali Khan's force and made an agreement with him, in which Ajit Singh was returned to the Subedari of Gujarat, his son Abhay Singh sent to the imperial court and his daughter Indira Kanwar married Farrukhsiyar, who became his second wife in 1715. They had no children. She came back to Jodhpur after the Sayyid brothers and her father had Farrukhsiyar blinded and executed in 1719.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Cambridge Shorter History of India|publisher=CUP Archive|pages=456}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Sunanda Bhattacharya|title=Role of Jats and Rajputs in the Mughal Court, 1707–1740|publisher=Books Treasure|year=1993|pages=27–8}}</ref><br />
